Could a Non-Dairy Diet Cure Your Skin Problems?

complexion.

One study found that individuals who repeatedly ingested added sugars had a 30% greater risk of developing acne, while those who regularly ate pastries and cakes had a 20% greater chance.

If you cut out dairy, it will take time to see the effects. It’s essential to keep in mind that you won’t see any significant differences in your skin overnight if you choose to cut foods like milk and cheese from your diet. It takes roughly two to three weeks to see progress in your skin once you remove dairy from your diet and allow your body to detox from it.

Though there isn’t much definitive proof to show a strong connection between a plant-based diet and an eczema cure, some pilot studies have shown that a diet without animal products can be hugely advantageous. Some vouch that a raw, vegan diet is the solution to eczema.

Of course, drastically altering your diet is no easy feat. 

Most people grow up eating the basic four food groups: 

  • Meat,
  • Milk
  • Bread
  • Produce

Many people like fruits and vegetables, but a plant-based diet is new for many people. Individuals may try switching things up by cutting out all dairy and meat. The differences can be positive. Within two weeks of adopting a new diet, some people may notice clearer skin.

Finding the right balance between animal-based and plant-based foods may take time and experimentation. A healthy and eczema-free diet may include:

  • Small amounts of meat
  • No dairy
  • No cane sugar
  • Lots of whole grains
  • Lots of beans
  • Lots of produce

Conclusion

For some, a non-dairy diet may help cure skin problems like acne and eczema. Consult with a doctor before making any major changes to your diet.
